In an article published on Sunday April 23 by the newspaper “Le Parisien”, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron takes stock of his start to his second term.
While his first year of the second five-year term began under several controversies, of which the pension reform with the use of 49-3 is mainly a part, Emmanuel Macron met this Friday, April 21, in the ambassadors’ lounge, with eleven readers of Le Parisien to answer their questions and take stock.
